Solomon's Private File #112
These stories about Stephen and Solomon take place starting in
1950's. Stephen wrote about his life in letters to a penpal, and then
in a secure blog, in case he lost his memory again, in the master
computer in his school for gifted students, which he started attending
in 2016 in a new incarnation, until his death. Now his son Solomon is
attending the same school, and is writing in his own secure blog for
his future incarnations.
All characters are fictitious, even if some of them might have names
that belong to some actual people, or act like people we know.
Solomon is 18 in this story, in the Winter of 2044-2045.
Solomon's Private File #112 "New Madrid Prep"
START Page
I said to the Director, "I've got some really bad news about a
natural disaster. Should I tell you first, or Homeland?" He said,
"You're here. Spill it." I aid, "New Madrid. Big ones." He said, "It's
not your fault." I said, "Good one, but won't change things. This fault
isn't like the usual. Very old one, and not plate edge related now.
Much harder to predict. Precog indicates a little less than four weeks.
Science agrees, with a first one of about 3.9. Hardly noticeable. Few
days later, 9.6, and about a week later, with a lot of smaller ones
between, about 8.8, and small after shocks, but serious, going on for
another two weeks. Going to be a LOT of liquefaction and sand flows,
and moderate land distortion in the near area, and land movement felt
as far away as New Hampshire and Georgia, to Texas and South Dakota.
Might trigger a similar fault in Illinois. Major cities will be mostly
destroyed. Utilities will be offline. Waterways will change. People
will die, and I can't do anything about it!" He said, "But you can't
change nature!" I said, "I did. Tokyo was going to get a 10. I did
preemptive releases starting a week before, with their PM's approval.
Made the final big one much less destructive. This fault is different.
It's not just a line slippage. Worst part of it is the duration. Could
be ten minutes or more. Massive but very complicated fault, and needs a
lot of correction. Buildings that would withstand two minutes, will
literally fly apart at ten. If I force stabilize this one, the one
North of it will go off even bigger. If I stabilize that, well, I can't
even predict what will happen. As it is, there is no safe place in the
entire area. An open field can turn into a gigantic quicksand pit in
minutes, and stay that way for months, maybe years. My people will help
as much as we can, but people will be people, and we can't do much
about that."
He said, "Tell Homeland and FEMA. President first, though." I said,
"I'll go set it up. A full emergency Cabinet Briefing." He nodded. I
left. I said in the President's ear when he was alone, "This is
Solomon, speaking privately in your ear. I'll hear you if you speak
under your breath if you wish. There is an emergency that will need a
full Cabinet briefing. New Madrid is going to quake. Little less than
four weeks. Big disaster. Precog told me first. Then sensors and math
gave me more." He said, "I'll push for it. And call you back. Told
anybody else?" I said, "My monitors have passed the word among my
people. I told the Director of the FBI. That's all. Sorry it had to be
on your watch." He said, "Right. Just have to deal with it. Working on
it now." I said, "Thanks. Going."
I was called back that evening. Most Cabinet Secs were there, the
rest were assistants. I gave a full briefing, with predictions and what
they meant, and the expected effects of the quakes, including the basic
science of them, with illusion AV aids. I said, "Anybody have trouble
understanding liquefaction? I can show you a real demonstration of it."
Some asked for it. I ported in a big deep claw foot bathtub, and some
steps to help people to stand on the soil that the tub was filled with.
I said, "Somebody stand on the surface and tell us if it's nice and
firm." One did, and said it was. I said, "Please dismount. There is
some water in the soil on the bottom. It's like a normal water table in
real life. This building on it, is weighted to scale. Now I'm lifting
the tub and shaking it like an earthquake would." Ten minutes went buy.
I put it down. The model building had half sunk into the dirt like it
was quicksand. I said, "Give it a couple of days, and it will sink even
further. Now why is this significant? The earthquake is centered on a
river basin flood plain. BIG water table, and the soil is sandy,
perfect for this process to occur. And the kind of quake that will
happen, is the perfect one for that, too. In areas where it's dry,
there could be sand fountains, like small volcanic eruptions, but with
sand. Hazardous to people and travel. The ground could remain unstable
for years. All these effects were reported from the last big quakes in
that area, so this is NOT guesswork. Dr. Reinhardt?" The FEMA
earthquake expert said, "I concur with all you've said, with the
exception of the prediction. I'm not denying it, just that I'm not able
to judge that."
I said, "Here's what needs to be done in preparation. All nuclear
reactors and other such things in 300k radius need to be shut down and
made as secure as possible. Natural gas lines need to be out of
operation and vented. Airport fuel pipes, the same. Some of you might
not know that what makes jets go, is stored far from the runways for
safely. Big underground pipes. Got it? Gas stations need to be emptied
of gas. We had a lot of trouble in Alaska with them catching fire.
Combustible refineries need to be secured, and their pipes, too. That
big one through Canada to us, could be damaged. Manufacturers need to
be made to secure their hazardous materials. That will be one of the
biggest problems in the recovery. You FEMA experts probably know about
all this already, but I didn't before Alaska and the other quakes I've
personally been involved in, so I suspected the rest of you might not
know, too." They all nodded.
I said, "What you choose to do about this is your business, but I
refuse to let an environmental disaster happen because of this. If a
reactor is about to break, that whole thing is going into a star. Sue
me if you want to, but that IS what will happen." President said,
"Don't worry. I authorize you to use your judgement. Your past
performance proves your wisdom in this." I said, "Oh, not the W word
again." He grinned and said, "Take it like a man!" I said, "Oh, that's
right. I actually am, now." Some chuckles. I said, "I've put you in a
horrible spot. I can't prove to you this is going to happen. From your
perspective, you don't know which way to go. If you do the best that
can be done in preparation, and it doesn't happen, you will be in the
biggest trouble of your lives. An economic disaster. If you don't
prepare, and it happens, and they know you were warned, expect lynch
mobs. And millions will die. I don't envy your position. I don't know
if I could make the decisions you will have to make, but there is
something I can do that might help you know the truth. I propose trying
for God contact, and asking Him. We may be ignored, we may get a
message we can't understand, or we just might get something useful. Or
the effort might damage us, but I really doubt that. So, anybody want
to try it? Even if some do, others can opt out, who aren't making the
final decision." They all wanted in.
I said, "I've done this before, even involving only one er, victim.
Please make yourselves comfortable. I don't know if any of you will
faint, but the noise of somebody's skull hitting the floor is NOT what
I want to hear. Alright. I'll start by making a mental connection to
each of you. It doesn't see any thoughts you don't intend to
communicate. Then I do the love, and then the reach. Ready?" They were,
and that's what I did. It was a good contact. With Dad, actually. He
gave me personal love, and communicated very clearly that the quake
would happen as I said it would, and get to work. I gave him my love,
and stopped the process. They were all in awe. The President said,
"That really was God!" State said, "And that was Stephen speaking for
Him. I recognized him." I said, "Yes. He usually does that. We're very
close, so it works better between us, than the other parts of God. Did
you understand the message?" She said, "I did. You ARE right. All of
it." Pres said, "That's what I heard, too, although it wasn't exactly
hearing." The others nodded agreement. One said, "Unmistakable.
Couldn't be faked." Justice said, "I agree. I'm willing to place my
full trust in it, and act accordingly."
Then we worked out plans for action. Word was passed to the media
that there would be an emergency live TV Presidential address, which
would include me in it. Then they got busy on the script. Pres of CNN
called me, and said, "Can you share?" I said, "I want to, but I really
can't this time. I can tell you what it's not about, but if you jump
the gun, or shark, or whatever, that's the last you will hear from me."
He said, "I get it. Go ahead." I said, "It's about the US only, and not
about any other country, or anything criminal, and it's really not a
fun thing. That's all." He said, "I smell a disaster." I said,
"Deodorant failure?" He chuckled. I said, "If you're wondering how I
can joke at a time like this, so am I." He said, "That bad?" I said,
"That's all. I suggest you get a good night's sleep, if you can. Oh,
alright. I can feel your er, whatever. Atlanta isn't in any danger." He
said, "Thanks. We'll be ready. Try not to worry." I said, "You know
that never works. Bye."
At 1PM Eastern, the President walked to the podium. He said, "There is
going to be an event that will happen in about three weeks. An
earthquake. A big one. We WILL get through this! We WILL be stronger
for this, than ever before! Solomon will give you the details." I
ported in, and he stepped aside. I said, "I had a premonition that
there would be a big earthquake. Then my mind feelers I have planted
all over the world in the ground, started showing me warning signs,
too. Fancy calculations showed me more. In a little over three weeks
there is going to be a series of big earthquakes centered around the
New Madrid Seismic Zone in Southeastern Missouri, similar to what
happened in 1811. Most of the country this side of the Rocky Mountains
will feel some of the effects, but within 300 kilometers of the center,
there will likely be widespread destruction. This is not just from the
quakes themselves, but because of them, the ground in that area will
become very loose and unstable. I and my group will do what we can to
help. Various government agencies are already gearing up for the
disaster. I urge the pubic to do as they are directed by the experts.
There is time. We need to be calm and cool headed, so we can get
through this bad time with as little problems as possible, so we can
have a lifetime of good times after we recover from this." I motioned
for the President to resume. He said to me, "You didn't tell them about
what else you did for us." I said, "This is already bad enough. Do you
really have to embarrass me more?" He said, "Yes." I sighed, and the
press chuckled.
I said, "I wouldn't have blamed them if they didn't want to believe
me. So, I did something I've done a few times before. I asked God
directly, and with the President and the Cabinet in a link with me. He
said, with a lot of love, I was right, and should get to work. That's
it. They all felt and heard that. And we HAVE been working. You here
will be handed some reports describing in great detail what's going to
be happening, and what we're going to be doing about it. We've prepared
some videos discussing these things, and how to prepare for this
depending on where people are, that will be posted to the web very
soon. TV networks and individual stations may run them, too." I said to
the President, "That cover it?" He said, "Yes, Solomon. Thank you very
much." I said, "You're welcome. I should be getting back to work. You
know how to contact me if you want to embarrass me some more." I ported
out. There were a lot of questions from the reporters. They were
answered by the Pres and his staff.
Pres of CNN called me and said, "I understand more now. Thanks for
the partial head's up. Would you be willing to join us live for
comments?" I said, "Willing, never." He chuckled. I said, "No point in
it now, and it could actually harm my effectiveness. Better your
experts verify what they can, for increased credibility. Only thing I
would be good for is trying to prove the warning is real, and I can't.
That, and I, would just be a distraction." He said, "Well reasoned.
Better than we would have. I have to really thank you for that." I
said, "Everybody wants to embarrass me!" He said, "Absolutely!" I have
him a rude noise, and he laughed as I hung up.
I had a meeting with the Director of FEMA. I said, "Doing well, I
see." He said, "Do you mean in this disaster, or in general?" I said,
"Yes." He grinned and said, "Different from Alaska, for sure. More
staff, though." I said, "But not as easy to handle. You don't like so
much delegation." He said, "Right! But we have to work with what we
a list of your people you'll have problems with, and why." He said,
"Thanks a lot! I didn't know if I should have asked for that." I said,
"I know. You didn't want to seem weak. We can't afford that now, either
way. If you run short of good people, here's another list." He was
really happy to get that one. He said, "We're already calling up the
national guard. I have to say, your ideas are unusual but surprisingly
practical! That mattress idea, for example." I said, "Act's like a raft
when there is liquefaction. Won't sink into the ground. Also reduces
vibration for those on it. So if their homes shake, they should take a
mattress outside away from buildings, and lie on it, on the lawn. Do it
on pavement, and it could loosen your teeth."
He said, "One of the biggest problems in preparation is the power
plants going offline. I know they have to start that process soon, but
it's going to really interfere with our work." I said, "I can make
mobile power plants for you, and port them anywhere you need before and
after the quakes. Self powered. Right. No fuel needed. But they will
cut off during quakes, and will NOT turn back on if it detects anything
attached to it will short." He said, "That's great! Your advanced
tech?" I said, "Yes. And gone when not absolutely needed. Or when
somebody tries to mess with one. They WILL be protected and monitored
by my people. It will have on it a sign telling the operator to touch a
crystal. When they do that, they will have all the necessary operating
instructions in their mind, and can't forget it. All our own devices
are like that." He said, "Wow!" I said, "If wows were kilowatts, I
could power the whole country with them, each time I say something." He
chuckled.
I said, "You won't like being out of touch here when the action
starts. One of us can port you anywhere you want to go, and protect
you, too. And maintain your communications links. We can even document
you in action, live, if you want. You're a good and effective man. I
don't want ANY of you wasted in any way. Oh, and if you do that, you
should have this." I gave him a special insulated jacket with Director
of FEMA in big reflective lettering on it. He had tears. I said, "This
is Frank. No, it's not his real name or looks. He'll be your personal
aid in the things I just described. His abilities are like mine. Hugs,
too." They did that. Frank said, "First thing refugees will need is
warm clothing. We can make it, as much as you and they need. Same for
food. Won't know about shelter until we see how the ground is." He said
to me, "Camp rule?" We grinned at each other. I said to the Chief,
"When I was 11 in summer camp, I saved a boy's life. To get them to
stop making a fuss about it, I said I was just enforcing a camp rule;
no camper is allowed to die. It became kinda popular." He said, "I
could see that. Thank you for all you do!" We hugged, and I ported
away.
I ported to the office of the Mayor of St. Louis. I said, "Backups
wouldn't hurt, but don't worry about documents and computer files. I'll
make identical copies and port them to a safe archive, just before the
first major quake. I and my group will be doing that for all the
affected cities and towns. That includes government things, including
prisons, and hospitals. Head of FEMA has a direct contact to us. Got
any urgent questions for me now?" He said, "Power." I said, "Soon,
we'll be porting special emergency mobile generators into place. Self
powered. FEMA knows all we're doing. I worked with the head before, in
Alaska." He said, "Oh! I like that. Good man." I said, "Absolutely. One
of us is supporting him directly. Don't be surprised if he's ported all
over the place. He's a real hands on manager." He said, "I feel better
about this now. Thanks." I had similar meetings with the mayors of all
the other cities and towns on my list. Some by projection. One was
different.
The Mayor of Jackson Tennessee said to me, "You're using a
projection." I said, "Right. Wait a sec, and I'll port in to replace
er, me." He grinned, and I did that. He said, "Wow! Your aura is
gigantic!" I said with a groan, "I know!" He grinned wider. I said, "If
I don't block it, everybody can see it in person." I cupped my ear, and
he put another wow into it. I nodded approval, and he laughed. I told
him what I told the others. He appreciated it. He said, "I didn't know
auras could be blocked." I said, "For those who don't ordinarily see
them, I can block their view of mine. But not for other psionic people
such as yourself. I estimate, in Eastern terms, your Third Eye is half
open, and reliable." He said, "Yes. I was checked out at a Buddhist
Temple. Alignment didn't improve anything." I said, "May I examine
you?" He said, "Please!" I did. I said, "Results are, you can improve
slightly over time. In two or three years, another alignment could
help, if your karma is positive. Good job so far." He said, "Thank
you!"
He said, "Chances for my city?" I said, "Better than Memphis. It's
going to be completely gone. Hardly a trace left. Mayor cried in my
arms." He had some tears, too. I said, "Your city, well, major damage.
All old masonry buildings will practically explode apart due to the
long duration of the tremors. Reinforced buildings will do better, but
probably won't be usable. Well built wood frame buildings will be
damaged, but might still be in mostly one piece. Will be some
subsidence, but not sustained major ground distortion. Most roads will
be passable except for building debris. My cleanup crew will help with
that. Keep a secret?" He said, "I will!" I said, "I'm going to try an
experiment. When my father died, he changed his time sense in the love
broadcast, so he could fix a lot of things better in the time he had.
I'm going to try to do that, too. I was monitoring him at the time. He
would have told me not to, if he had known I could." He nodded. I said,
"So, I might be able to do more than I could normally do. Well, if
anything I do is normal." He said, "Would it send you over?" I said,
"Slightly increased possibility. Not enough to worry about." He said,
"You're sure?" I said with a grin, "No. Mom says I take too many risks.
I do take them, but only when necessary, and I judge them very
carefully." He said, "Stay safe!" I said, "Aw, no fun in that." He
smiled. We hugged with love.
